Should one add static friction and kinetic friction together to find the total friction force?
No. You use whichever applies: if an object is at rest, you use static friction. If it is moving, you use kinetic friction.
What is the difference between friction and weight?
Friction is a force that stops almost every object so if there is more weight it is harder for the friction to stop the given object
Force that act on object that are not moving?
Static friction is the force that acts on an object that is not moving. Other kinds of friction include fluid friction and rolling friction.
What is applied to reduce friction?
friction is produced on rough surface... so like we use oil and Greece to reduce friction because it disconnet the contact of the object from the rough surface.......
What does it mean when an object is charged by friction?
The object becomes positivley / negatively charged when friction acts on it.
Should one add static friction and kinetic friction together to find the total friction force?
No. You use whichever applies: if an object is at rest, you use static friction. If it is moving, you use kinetic friction.
What common household appliances use friction?
1.Electric Iron, 2.comb,
Can friction make object yes or no?
Friction can make object no.
As soon as an object starts moving what replaces static friction?
Kinetic Friction replaces Static Friction when an object is in motion.
Is an object at rest has friction?
An object can be at rest with or without friction. An object floating in outer space can be at rest. An object that is glued to the floor can also be at rest.
What does friction do to the object's motion?
The motion of the object might slow down or just change itself object would resist moving or keep moving. An object can have static friction, sliding friction, or rolling friction.
Does friction affects the weight of an object?
no, friction just changes the motion of an object.
What is the defition of friction?
friction is: When an object exerts an opposite force on an object in motion.
What do animals use friction for?
Friction is a very helpful thing and with out it you couldn't move, speed up, slow down, change direction, bend, or twist. Without friction nothing would ever happen. Friction can oppose motion or it can make it difficult for an object to move across a surface. Friction both helps an hinders every thing we do.the object would not move without frictionThe friction acts in the opposite direction to that of direction of motion.So friction slows the object and if no external force is applied the object will come to stop.Friction is a force that opposes the direction of motion between two materials. It is parallel to the surface your object is touching. Friction depends on the coefficient of friction and the normal force (force exerted perpendicular to the surface your object is on; opposes gravity on a flat surface). There are two kinds of friction: static and kinetic. Static friction must be overcome in order to move an object. Once the object is in motion the friction acting on it is called kinetic. Static friction has a threshold of force that is needed to get the object moving but once the object is in motion it can be moved at a constant velocity with less force required.
Does friction speed up an object?
Friction does not speed up an object; it creates drag and slows it down.
When can you notice friction?
i notice friction when a moving object is being stopped by a living object
What is the difference between friction and weight?
Friction is a force that stops almost every object so if there is more weight it is harder for the friction to stop the given object
